Black Dragon

Once upon a time there were two kids. Their names were Shawn and Katie.
One day their village was attacked by none other than the Black Dragon. As soon as he got there he started for Shawn and Katie’s street. When Shawn and Katie got there he was nowhere to be found.
After that they decided that they would go after him. Everyone told them not to go. They did not listen.
They walked miles and miles until it occurred to them that they needed supplies to fight the dragon. Finally they came to a black smith. The black smith gave them two swords and two sheaths.
When they started on the road again they wondered what was waiting for them.
After walking for miles they came to a dirt road.
They followed the road thinking that it would take them to the dragon`s lair. It did not lead them to the black dragon`s lair.
It leads them to a deserted forest. At least they thought it was deserted.
When they went in Katie said " I do not think we are near the Black Dragon`s lair." Shawn said "I think you are right."
They looked around. They were completely lost.
They split up.
Katie finally said "I found a way out." Shawn said “Thanks for telling me."
Shawn looked and he saw a light. Shawn and Katie were so excited; they could not wait until they could get out of the forest. They burst through the leaves and jumped with joy.
After that they walked twenty more miles without taking a break when they spotted a river. Shawn and Katie ran to the river overjoyed.
They filled four large jars with water.
Katie said "I think we should go on.” Shawn agreed and then walked on.
“I see the ocean over there” Katie said pointing to the west.
“Awesome!” said Shawn.
They went through the trees to get to the ocean.
When they got to the water they found a lot of mangrove tree branches.
Shawn said that he knew how to cross over the ocean by building a boat out of the mangrove tree branches. Katie said “That is a great idea."
Then they started to build their boat. They took the fallen mangrove tree branches and put them in a special place.
As soon as they finished they rode on the ocean. The days were foggy and the nights were stormy and gloomy. One night there was a huge storm that destroyed their boat.
Shawn fell to the bottom of the sea, but Katie stayed on top of the water. She woke up and dived to the bottom to get Shawn. She grabbed his arm and pulled him to the top of the water.
When he woke up Shawn was in the water.
He saw Katie floating in the water like a dead fish. He went to her and helped her up."Thanks" said Katie.
Then they started to swim together.
Soon they saw a beautiful island ahead. It had so many palm trees with coconuts.
When they came to the island they made two small houses.
Shawn`s house was made out of fallen branches and dead leaves. Katie’s house was made out of thick wood and big leaves that she had picked herself.
They were also finding out which animals are safe and which are not. They also started to build a boat out of thick wood.
They finished quite quickly.
When they did finish they sailed off.
One night when Katie was look out she saw a pack of sharks and woke Shawn up.
They took out their swords. They were in danger.
All of a sudden Shawn fell into the water.
Katie tried to grab him but she missed.
She dived into the water.
She could not see anything. All was dark.
She felt something touch her back.
She turned around and grabbed it without seeing that it was one of the deadly sharks. She screamed but nobody could hear her.
That same minute Shawn rose to the surface.
He saw blood in the water. He grabbed an arm and pulled her up. “Thank you so much”. “No problem”. Said Shawn.
“Let’s keep going.” They kept going on as if nothing ever happened.
Then silvery mist flew out of the wide ocean.
“Who dares to wake me Neptune the god of the sea.”
“We are Shawn and Katie Seray.” Said Katie.
“Why did you tell him who we are?” Shawn whispered. “What harm could it bring?” Said Katie.
“Well Shawn and Katie I do not want you present so leave.”Ordered Neptune. “Fine then I guess I won`t tell any stories about you.” Said Katie. “ Fine you may cross.”
Girls can be very persuasive.
They went on.
It was cold and dreary.
Katie was very sick and Shawn had to take care of her.
He didn`t know what to do. Thankfully she wasn`t very sick and was easily nursed back to health.
“Are you okay?” Said Shawn. “Yes” Said Katie.
They were still in the ocean looking for the dragon’s lair.
They heard waves crashing every night. They could not sleep because of all that noise.
In the morning they saw something they had not seen in weeks. They saw land.
It was just a small island but to them was all land the same.
They tried to get the boat in faster but it was no use.
They would just have to wait for the waves to pull them in.
Eventually they pulled were pulled in by the waves. They loved that small island so much for saving them from starvation.
Although the island only had coconuts and bananas it was food all the same.
They found shelter in two small hollow trees.
Shawn and Katie looked around the island for new things to eat and new places to live. They looked around and they either didn`t find anything or they kept going in circles.
They checked every part of the island except one dark and mysterious part that neither of them wanted to go in.
Then one day they ran out of food in their trees.
“It`s okay.” Said Katie “I`ll just go find some more.” So Katie left to go find some more food. She look all over the island but she couldn`t find anything.
Of course she left out the dark, scary place on the island.
She ran back to Shawn.
“We`ll only find food in the dark, scary part of the island.”Panted Katie.
“Let’s go see what’s in there.” Said Shawn. So they walked to the mysterious part of the island.
They took a few steps into the darkness.
They were holding the breathe so the wouldn`t make any noise.
It was pretty clever until they couldn’t hold their breath anymore.
They made so much noise when they took a breath some of the animals around them woke up.
“Look over there!” Screamed Katie pointing at something large in front of them.
“Ahhhhhh!”They yelled. The thing that stood before them was the black dragon.
They could tell because the dragon had black armor for skin and eyes that sparkled like diamonds.
They took out their swords and started to fight.
“Bang, clash!” The dragon didn`t seem to have a weak spot. Then Katie spotted regular skin. It was on it`s stomach.
Shawn was howling in pain.
Katie was going towards the dragon. She was trying to get to the stomach.
Her head was almost cut off but she managed.
She finally got to it`s stomach and stabbed it. After that the dragon was no more.
Shawn and Katie had a long way home but they knew they could survive it now and they knew they saved a lot of innocent people that was what really matters.
That was the time of their lives but it was over and they had to go home.
That was about the two bravest kids who ever walked the face of the earth and how they defeated the black dragon.
The End.
